DRESSING-ROOMS. At all entertainments,
dressing-rooms should be provided for both
the men and for the women, with suitable
attendants, where all outer wraps, coats, over-
shoes, etc., should be left.
DRIVING
MEN. When driving with a woman, a man should
be careful that the carriage is well drawn up
to the steps, and that she be given time in
which to comfortably seat herself before he
begins to drive.
A man when driving with a woman should
refrain from asking her permission to smoke,
and, of course, would never do so without her
permission.
He should be careful to lift his hat as if he
were on the street, and if this is not possible,
to touch it with the whip in place of a bow.
The host of a coaching party, if he is also
the whip, would give the chaperone the seat
on the box at the left of his, unless he wished
that seat to be occupied by some special young
woman. The person occupying this seat
should always be helped by the host to climb
to her place.
It is customary when the coach is a high
one to seat a woman between two men, and
they would ascend and descend in the order
in which they were seated.
Even if the woman asks a man to drive with
her, he should help her to her seat, and be
ready to step down when a halt is made to
assist her to alight.
It is not customary when a woman has
asked a man to drive with her for her to call
for him at his club or home, but to meet him
at her house.
DRESS. The whip wears a gray suit with a gray
high hat and gray gloves, with a white silk
tie and white linen. But in summer this costume
is often made lighter and more comfortable
to suit the weather, and a straw hat
or panama, with flannel trousers and dark
serge sacque coat, would be in good taste.
There are no hard and fast rules governing
the dress of men when driving.
WOMEN. The etiquette in general is the same
for a woman as for a man.
When a woman asks a man or a male relative
to drive with her, she does not call for
him, but meets him at her door. Even if a
groom is present, he should help her to
mount to her seat, and at the proper time
descend before her and help her to alight.
